Abstract

A universal electronic ballast system (10) is provided for actuating at least one gas discharge lamp (1900) having any one of a plurality of predetermined wattage ratings. Electronic ballast system (10) includes a filter circuit coupled to an AC power mains (100,110) for substantially suppressing spurious signals passing into or from the power source. The filter circuit is coupled to a regulated switching power supply circuit (14) which generates a regulated boost voltage and draws a substantially constant in phase sinusoidal load current from the power source supplied to a switching circuit (16) which generates a regulated pulsating current at a predetermined frequency. Responsive to the regulated pulsating current a high voltage is induced in the primary windings (1710 and 1680) of induction transformer (T3). The high voltage is coupled to gas discharge lamp (1900) by means of the magnetic coupling between primary winding (1730) and secondary winding (1770) of the output transformer (T2). Universal electronic ballast system (10) monitors the presence of gas discharge lamp (1900) by means of the voltage divider (1270,1830) and protection circuit formed by diode (1490), transistors (1380) and transistors (1380 and 1440), for maintaining the switching transistor (1590) in an "off" condition by shunting the base drive signal therefrom responsive to gas discharge lamp (1900) being removed from ballast system (10). <IMAGE>
